May 17th, in the NBA Playoff Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, the Celtics were eliminated 81-119. After the game, Porzingis was interviewed.

When asked how to describe the past two seasons, Porzingis said: "To be honest, all this is unbelievable. From a personal perspective, the ups and downs in the past two years have been difficult times, and even last year. But the grand goal we pursue has been achieved, nothing sweeter than this, right?"

"Trying to hit the target again this year is a huge challenge. I also returned to the season from injury after undergoing surgery. It is not easy. There are always some bumps along the way, but in the end, these experiences will only strengthen your mind. I have always looked at the problem this way, and this time, it is also a difficult challenge for me personally."

In this game, Porzingis played for 11 minutes, made 1 of 4 shots (1 of 2 three-pointers), and scored 1 of 2 free throws, only 4 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block, plus or negative value -14.
